The Seven Sleepers.

Holding our lighted candles between
the palings of the wooden screen which
debars nearer approach 10 the sleeperS,
We were shown some cloths on the
floor, apparently a rough common sheet
with dark-colored fringed cloth above
it, which was said to cover the sleepers.
We asked if it was allowed to look un-
der the cloth, but that, ttey said, was
impossible. Even they themselves,
they sIid,. knew not what was there.
One man had once tried to look and he
WAS Immediately struck blind; but that
if we doubted, ''there pointing in the
directiOn) was the dog and the deer and
hawk" Holding the candles 10 the
right we could then see iudiStinctly
something looking like dried bodies OF
some animals propped against the wall.
They were very small. The first, said
to be the dog, was about a foot in
height, and the deer few inches high
er, but 1t was impossible to say in such
Light what animals they were. The bones
OF the ieTs were Yisible-in fact, the dogs
legs had fallen off, which rather told
against is being asleep, but the body
emed TO be covered with dry skin; and
yet, on the strength of these relies, some
twenty families of Sayeds are kept IN
comfort and live here on the contribu-
tons of pilgrims with, in addition, as
much land rs they require free of any
rent and taxes.

Luck.

y King once said to his minister.
''Do you believe in luck?"
II do" said the minister.
s''Can you prove it," said the King.
''YeS, CAM
So one night he tied up to the ceiling
Of room bag containing peas mixed
with diamonds, and let in two men, one
of whom believed in luck and the other
in human effort alone. The one who
believed in luck quietly laid himself
down on the ground; the other, after a
line, found the bag, and, feeling IN the
dark the peas and stones, ate the peas
and threw the diamonds to his csmpan-
ion, saying: There are the stones for
your idleneSS."
The man below received them in his
blanket.
In the morning the King and minis
ter came and told each man to keep
what he lad found. The man who
believed in trying, got the peas which
he had eaten, the other got the dia-
monds.
The minister then said, "Sire, there
may be luck, but it is as rare as peas
mixed with diamonds; so let none hope
to 1--we by luck"

Throwing the Shoe.

The custom OF throwing the slipper
after newly married couple is well
known. Awriter, Mr.. G.. Lansing. of
Alexandria, Egypt, whose explanation
of this custom We copy below, attributes
the origin of It to the far East. 1t may
very well be so, and on the other hand
il may have had a far less symbolIcal
orig n. At all events the theory is
an interesting one.
Tne custom of throwing slipper at
another, or striking him with II, IS still
practiced in the East as sign of re-
nunciatIon. A IA her for instance, who
would renoun e his son after he has
been convicted of being a wicked son,
will, before witnesses, take of his shoe,
and if near enough strike him with 1t,
or. if more distant, throw 1t at him.
Recently We have had three cases of
Moslem converts to Christianity, whose
relatives and co-relIgionists have, in
this manner, signiied their renunci y
tiOn and cutting of of all relations
with the prevents from their faith.
The Oriental shoe, being usually
soft slipper, is not thrown as missile,
or weapon, for the purpose of causing
bodily pain.
This explains the throwing of the
slipper as the bride leaves her fathers
house. 1t IS saying to her In playful
way:
''Be OFF with you! We renounce you
and will have nothing more TO do with
you"
Mr. Lansing explains in the same
way the taking of the snOe frcm the
foot in the case of the kipsman who
renouncfd his claim to the inheritance
of EiImelech ruth 4:9l, the loOsing Of
the shoe being merely legal formula
OF remuneration which drew its mean
ing from popular lore.
The modern Arabs. instead of throw
ing the shoe, sometimes exclaim:
My shoe at youl'
This is regarded as token OF con-
temptuous renunciation.

Tricks of the Chinese Thief.

1t Is said that of late bed clothing
has been taken to Chinatown in large
quantities. Armed with a bamboo
stick about four feet long, which may
be readily heightened to fifteen or
twenty feet by telescope slide, the
Mongolian hoodllm makes his way
about dusk TO back or side window.
which has been left open at the ton fer
ventilation. Tie pole Is stuck through
the window, being stretched out as it i;
inserted, and by means OF small hook
at the end bedspreads, blankets, sheets,
and pillows are pulled through the
opening. It has sometimes occurred
that bed clothing has thus teen re-
moved while the bed contained an o.
cupant, who was sleeping soundly. In
tie case Of an alarm the pole q
dropped, and, being on the outside OF
the building, the hoodlum easily makes
his escape.

HOW BRAVE MEN DIE.
II Will Ask You. Gentlemen, not to
Hit Me In the Face, but Here"

EARLY in the morning, as the mlsts
were just rising from the dense vegeta-
tion about tine town, and the sun rose
above the treetops, small body o.
soldiers marched through the wet grass
to the dull tapping of drum. A few
people followed ut a respectful dis
tance. They turned out in the direc.
tion OF the old church, La Carided,
the Angelus from which bells had
sounded.
Marching past its portals halt was
made in one of its angles, where the
late addition joined the ancient portion
a little apart from the soldiers stood
four officers, the victims OF this beau
tiful morning. Four coflins were
placed near the wall. and the four con-
demned men led to them. They took
their funeral seats as gracefully as if
they were in the boxes OF an opera
Not face was blanched, not a nerve
quivered. As they sat there, General
Delgado nOticed that his nearest COM
paninn moved little restIessly on his
c"l'n lid. ''Are you afraid, COM
padrep" said he.
The young Off ,er smiled at the ques-
ton and answered with a prompt
No"
This" said the General, Sis some-
thing We all have to go through. Some
soon, some late. but 1t comes to all"
And he gave a smile of encourage.
ment to his fellow condemned ones.
The soldiers were loading their rifles
and the sunlight glistenedI on the pol
ished barrels. The General called in
low vo:cs to the officer in charge of the
men, and asked if he would permit
the firing squad to advance five PAGES
nearer. This would bring them to
within twelve feet, and there would be
no missing. He asked also not to be
of giving the word. The officer as
sented and the men came slowly for
ward. The condemned men were then
asked II they had anything to say.
General Delgado, with wonderful
GOODNESS and great dignity and grace,
made brief speech, but 1t could not
be heard by the spectators beyond the
soldiers. The air was filed with the
perfumes OF the flowers just opened by
the morning sun. 4 whistle OF parO-
quet and the ''caw" of some brilliantly
plumaged bird were the only bendic-
tons then heard. The General then
addressed the swarthy firing squad:
81 viii ask you, gentlemen, not TO
hit Inc in the face, but here" and his
right Land pointed with quick ges-
ture to a spot over his heart. Then IN
clear tones he spoke the word, "Are
you realyY"
The rifles were pointed directly at
the four men. Each could look into
the muzzles of the instruments of
death. No eye was bandaged, no arm
tied. Over each barrel the black eye
OF a Honduranian soldier looked along
its shining surface into the eyes of the
cool and calm officers seated by the
wall. When they heard the question a
murmur announced that they were
ready. Then came from the firm lips
of Delgado, Fire"
There was no rattle, no scattering
reports, but one sharp, singing report,
aud the four men, for a half second
remaining, in an Gpiiyht position, as if
still unhurt, rolled over limp and
bloody-dead.
The men had been true to their
promises, for three balls had penetrated
Delgado's heart.

The Legend Of the Willow.

a golden-ha.red Guild. who lived
where no trees or flowers grew, was
gazing one day wistfully through the
open gate of a beautiful park, when the
gardener CHANGED TO throw out an am
ful of dry cuttings. Among them the
little girl discovered one with a tiny
bud just starting.
'Perhaps it viii grow," she whis
perod TO herself, and, dreaming or wide.
cool boughs and nutterIng leaves, she
carried it carefully home, and planted
It in the darksOme area.
Day after day she watched anu ten
ded it, and when by-and-by. another
bud started, she knew that the slip had
taken root. Years passed and the
lDwIy home gave place to a pleasant
mansion, and the narrow area widened
INTO a spacious garden, where many a
green tree threw its shadow. But 10;
the golden-haired child, now grown
into lovely mailen. the fairest and
dearest of them all was the one she had
so tenderly nourished. No other tr, e.
she thought. cast such cool, soil
shade; IN no other boughs did the birls
sing so sweetly.
But while the tree lived and -four
i,hed the young girl frooped and faded
Sweeter and sadder grew the light In
her blue eyes, till by-and-by Gods an
gel touched them with a dreamles,
sleep. Loving hands crowned the white
bTow with myrtle, and under the
branches she had loved laid her tender
ly to rest.
But from that hour. as if in sorrow
for the one that tended IL. The stately
tree bega to droop. Lower and lowsr
bent the sad branches, until t'rey ca

her form.

A Princess Dainty Appetite.

Apropos Of the Princess OF Wales
appetite few persons have any idea how
poor an eater her royal highness is.
Only the most delicate dishes tickle
her palate. and even these she takes
scarcely enough to feed canary. San
culinary meat is her special adherence.
She is also very particular what she
drinks. a very small quantity satisfy
ing her. It may interest ladies to know
that her royal highness is devout
lover OF a cup of tea. but it must BE-
carefully made, ''drawn" to second

The theory that q red.headed girl al.

great deal OF attention from those who
have considerable amount OF sbare time
on their hands. In front Of the principle
hotels there can bs found any afternoon a
party OF department. officials, attorneys,

cry woman and furtiyely eteal a glance at
her hair. II it happens to be OF the shade
